Beijing Air Pollution prediction and current
Finally the Smog in Beijing has cleared anylevel over 300 would be considered an emergency, and it spiked over 700 last
weekend. I think the absolute basics include:
- Don’t go outside if you don’t have to, especially your children
- Schools absolutely should be cancelling outdoor activities
- If you must go outside, at least consider a proper N95-rated mask
- Keep those air purifiers cranked up, especially in your child’s bedroom
- Keep a watchful eye on your vulnerable loved ones: the elderly; infants; anyone with lung disease such as asthma or emphysema; anyone with a bad heart and previous heart attacks
